Hello all new/relatively new players. This post is for anyone in there first season and are still confused about mods - like myself I fumbled through the game at first being baffled by menus and currencies, work those out and you can get the most out of the freebies and working the system so that you don’t rip yourself off. I’m the idiot that spent my Starchrom on blueprints I’ll never use - cause the game gives little to no direction. 16k Starchrom I could have spent on my current build but hey ho! We move on.

Right now I just want to give a tip about Mods. Mods used to overwhelm me just looking at the screen but once you make them all work in harmony with your build/playstyle, that is what makes you start kicking ass.

“Get to the point!” - yes, so when you open a new mod box and it starts showing you random mod levels, I thought it means that the mod you’re gonna get - but what it’s showing you is the level of the current mod you have under that mod name.

For example, open box, “Shrapnel Carnage - Violent”, hover over it, it shows “15 Shrapnel carnage + what it does” that means that is your current owned shrapnel carnage mod.

I thought it meant that’s what I was gonna get. For the longest time. And always chose highest number.

So in turn I was always getting a lesser version of my owned mod, in these cases you have to take into account what mod box are you opening? Do you know it’s a shitty low level mod box? Then choose something “locked” or very low.

Luckily by the time I figured it out it was my Guaranteed lvl 17 Shrapnel box. In these cases you choose the one you like most, to get your already owned ones but better.

Hope this helps - I probably look like a noob to a lot of people but I guarantee this will help a lot of others before me.

Learned a very valuable lesson today - newly lvl 50 and decided to purify a Lvl 3 Cortex just to complete last of the journey tasks, my base got absolutely ran through by deviants and some of my crates got destroyed, lost all the materials that was inside them.

Anyone new like me, don’t purify the cortex’s just yet 😂

Get patrolling combat deviants and turrets ready for when you do I guess

For anyone that doesn’t know you can “fast travel” by saving the game and loading it takes you back to your apartment

Are there any good zombie survival games on PS5 that resemble something like PC’s Vein, the in-development Ardem, Project Zomboid etc?

I’m sick of DayZ after 2k hrs but still playing it like most people who love and hate it lmao - I’ve tried How To Survive 2 before anyone compares that to Zomboid - I feel like there are none of these kinda games available on PS and these ones on PC look so good. Really considering getting myself one just for the games mentioned

After 2k+ hours I’ve never looted a dynamic gas zone. Does the loot change? Is it worth going into one? Let’s say Novaya for example when gassed

I know it’s coming and saw it on the roadmap, but the fact there is no matchmaking yet is insane.

It’s like they don’t want us to earn the free premium credits, because if matchmaking was in then we’d all be crushing more Own The Lot challenges and would probably be earning the free San Van Bucks faster.

Greedy as hell

So I played this game during early beta access and have been putting it off because I had to do redo every main mission. Finally got around to doing them all and I haven’t really spent any rip chips.

Is it worth keeping them/saving them all up until I get the higher level boxes ?

Is there a way to skip the replay cutscene after a challenge? Annoying I have to wait and skip everytime I’d rather just ride away immediately to the next one

So I just received my PS5 DualSense controller back from Sony after they took it in to repair a stick drift issue.

Supposedly it comes with another warranty, does anyone know how long this new warranty is?

I always wondered why someone hasn’t made a mod to be able to fire from a vehicle. I figured if it was possible, we’d have seen it by now. Any thoughts on this?
